And how! I think the Dark Crystal score is one of the best fantasy scores ever. I just grabbed Excalibur on DVD, and while its soundtrack is a close second to Dark Crystal, I like it more than Labyrinth.

Frankly, Habidabad, your participation, knowledge, and your collection of stuff would greatly enhance a DVD package. It's too bad that they're just rushing ahead with things and not looking at the obvious.

But you've easily enough material to beef-up a Dark Crystal DVD to resemble the Buckaroo Bonzai DVD ... and that award-winning DVD extras package was originally based on a website. You've the script ... alternate scenes ... stuff from every country. You have stuff that I would absolutely kill to see.

How do we know that it's a cleaned up print that's newer than the DVD or SuperBit versions? The re-release in France could have been pulled from one of those sources!

I don't think it'll be a new print. If CTS's previous Box Sets are any indication (and I'm talking specifically about Holy Grail here, as it's the only one I've seen), it'll just be the special edition DVD. The only new stuff will be the non-disc materials.

Yes it will be region 1. At this time, I have no idea if any other countries will see this special release or not.

That is just the problem where I made a DVD regio petition ... Philip, could you perhaps give it special attention?
I hope that more people will sign this petition... And all who read this, please help us let them Muppet/Henson movies come to Europe

I haven't bought any shape or fourm of the Dark Crystal yet, i guess it's best I wait for this one? I hope it contans all the extras the first DC DVD's had.
I haven't bought any Laberthin DVD yet either.

MFC has been put out on video and DVD a few times now too (all cut) I know they are doing another one along with TCT soon but I think that's only in the UK (for now at least)

Those are abrvations for the Muppet Family Christmas specail and The Christmas Toy. MFC, TCT, get it?

It's just faster to type, like the Muppet Movie would be TMM, The Great Muppet Caper would be TCMC, Muppets from Space would be MFS. See what I mean? It can be kinda confusing at first but it becomes a second language over time.

What is a Senitype®, you ask?
A limited edition image from the motion picture and 35 mm film frame.

We still don't know what else is being released with this box set, but with the price it's probably not much. Most collector's box sets with a Senitype® usually come with a movie poster, lobby cards, and black and white photos.

More expensive box sets sometime come with one or more of the following:
Extra DVD Features
Commemorative Booklet
Soundtrack CD
Script
Lithograph
Certificate of Authenticity

Sometimes autographed editions are released, but these usually range around $150 - 250!

"MFC? TCT?"

I knew that they were abbreviations for movies. I just didn't know which ones. Of course, I've heard and seen both those movies, but when it comes to abbreviations those two don't popped out automatically for me! I always call "The Dark Crystal" DC or TDC!

New to this edition:
• Henson storyboards and character drawings
• Jim Henson's original treatment of the film
• Commemorative senitype
• Collector's booklet with original, never-before-seen notes by Jim Henson

Okay, but at what point does this sort of thing just sorta dickover the fans. I hate when they release better versions of movies after they've released it. Honestly, dvds cost enough as is without having to re-buy the same move over and over. It's crazy to have the dark crystal special edition, then the dark crystal even more special edition. Pretty soon they'll be releasing movies so special that they'll need to be shipped to the store in the small bus!

Perhaps I'll be wrong about this one, I mean, if they do a really special somthing with it, I'll be ok with it I guess.

But as for others, I am purposelly not purchasing Scooby Doo or any of the LOTR films, as I know they'll eventually release a box set of all three movies. Probably an expensive one, too, w/all the extended editions plus some extra goodies. Same w/Star Trek Nemesis. Paramount has slowly been releasing all the films in 2 disc directors editions (They're up to The Final Frontier now); and after getting the original Star Trek 1-9 box set, I will not be burned again.

Sci-Fi.com News reported that Warner Bros. has already commissioned a screenwriting team to begin work on a script for a third Scooby movie. I know it seems weird, but I guess they want to get rolling on it pretty quickly if the second one does well.

So even though you accidentally said 3 Scooby movies, you turned out to be right anyway.
